Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Mixed Emotions

I’ve received 2-3 reminder emails in the last few weeks about Employee Appreciation Week and all the great things Wells is doing for their employees and on the other hand thinking, “Is this the week i’m getting laid off?🤔…anyone else see the irony in this?

Just another slap in the face.

If I say this is unequal treatment when my location gets a 1 hour candy bar and another location gets a 9 hour feast (I thought that was a joke until I actually looked it up), will they take my candy away?

@fqw+1sQlliJH — this is becoming the hallmark of WF. Pick the worst timing — preferably during a celebration/market event/site visit, and layoff employees while you celebrate with the traumatized employees who remain.

Every minute of every workday I am trying so hard to not give up, to not quit (or get fired) and thus not let severance evaporate.

I'm a long timer who's remote and watch for years as others around me get laid off.

Maybe it is ageism, everyone gone is 10+ years older than me.

I used to be a top performer, used to cut out the noise, would never be on sites like this posting comments. But we've hit a critical mass, things are so bad, so dire, that here I am on this site even though I know it's a useless exercise.

Back to doing some training, improving skillsets, etc. Gotta be above whatever nonsense WF throws at ya.

Do you mean this? Appreciate H1b employees, depreciate US citizens?

Yes it's ironic and unfortunate that it's taking a ridiculous amount of time to complete these layoffs.

Looking at you, C suite! What's your guys' problem? It's not rocket science.

Get. It. Done!

I would appreciate getting a severance package ANY day of ANY week. The sooner, the better. Please pick me!

No, I don't see any irony as this is the way corporate works.

No mixed emotions here. FHY, today, tomorrow, and forever.

I was thinking about that too! Layoff week lands during "appreciation" week. Laughable and sad.

If they truly appreciated employees, WF leadership would provide clearer, more specific, and more consistent information about the timing of relocation / layoffs. Announcing that some employees have no long-term future with the company and then dithering on the implementation of that strategy reveals more about how they view employees than a bunch of hollow pep rally events.

"You have no future here, but we appreciate you and all you do."
